The science of ionizing radioactive materials and irradiating equipment has a very important place in modern society across many different fields of endeavor. This unit develops student's understanding of important concepts and properties of ionising radiation. This unit also illustrates the application of ionising radiation across many fields, environmental and medical science, physics, chemistry, biological science, sports science, and security science. The safe handling and disposal of these materials is also covered. Completion of this unit will give ECU graduates important skills and knowledge that will enhance their employment prospects in areas where ionizing radiation is important.
